Leggie Week 3 - Signing In

4. I love the Saints in a rebound game over the Titans!!! I can see losing in Indianapolis, and guess we’ll give a pass for the loss in Tampa, but the streak has to end on Sunday. It was only a year ago that the eyes of the sporting nation were fixed on New Orleans. Now they get centerstage against Vince Young and the Titans. Man, the wonderlick is right, VY just doesn’t have the mental fortitude for the NFL game. And the draft pundits were right, he’s not going to be able to outrun NFL linebackers. And he’s not going to be able to really succeed with that unorthodox release. Shame on you Mel Kiper. Saints have to have this one, and will get it. You can take the bag off your heads Saints fans. Saints by 3!!!

3. I love the Pants over the Falcons in Hotlanta!!! Did everybody see those Steve Smith highlights last week? Are you kidding me? This guy is approaching the NFL stratosphere in terms of guys you just want to watch. In the era of 6’5 receivers where tall and rangy is king, Steve Smith is just straight up more talented than anyone else. The most amazing thing is that he’s such and interesting guy while having such a ‘meh’ name. Steven Davis, Tim Brown, Joe Thomas, yup, Steve Smith is in good company. If I were him I’d change my name to Sparky Speedmonger. Let I sit for a little bit people. Pants by 14!!!

2. I love Pittsburgh over the 9ers!!! Yo, 9ers, I’ve got a song for you. “Gonna make you, make you, make you notice. Gonna use my arms, gonna use me legs.” Guess what, San Fran, you’re a pretender!!! Pittsburgh will pick you apart this week and further prove that we should just blow the NFC into oblivion. Pitt by 10!!!

1. Lastly, I love the Ray-dahs over the Brownies in the black hole. Theory at work here. Two of the worst teams in the league face off. They both have hopelessly ugly fans. They both. One team has a quarterback who played a significant role on the Trailblazers around the turn of the century. The other teams quarterback kind of look like the bad guy in Karate Kid. What does this all add up to? That neither of these teams strike me as the kind of team that can win two games in a row. Ergo…Raiders win at home by 10!!!
